New York City is a big draw for the culture alone, and that may be why lyrical genius Kendrick Lamar has reportedly bought a penthouse there.
According to The New York Post, the former TDE artist is purchasing a penthouse at Pierhouse at Brooklyn Bridge Park. He was seen making various trips through several luxury condos in Brooklyn recently including the Quay Tower in Brooklyn Heights and the Olympia in Dumbo. The prices for the condos he has been viewing have all been in the $10 million range.
The penthouse he reportedly bought is located on Furman St., and the asking price was $8.99 million. “It’s a pied-à-terre,” a source said.
It’s been described as a tri-level condo that has four bedrooms, a den and has close to 2,000 square feet of outdoor space over two levels. That includes a private rooftop that overlooks the East River and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The building includes several luxuries which include a doorman, a concierge, gyms, a residents’ lounge, bike storage, and on-site parking. Residents also have access to 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s outdoor space, including its rooftop pool and bar.
Architectural Digest has reported that there are several notable celebrities already living at The Pierhouse. Actors Matt Damon and Amy Schumer already own condos at the property. British recording artist Ed Sheeran is currently renting a unit there for a reported $36,000 a month.
The rapper can definitely afford it as earlier this year it was reported that his 2022 tour, “The Big Steppers” became the highest-grossing tour by a hip-hop recording artist. He surpassed Canadian rapper Drake’s “Aubrey & the Three Migos” tour.
Touring Data reported that “The Big Steppers” tour, produced by Live Nation, had 73 shows that traveled across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The total revenue for the tour came in at $110,886,026 after selling 929,056 tickets.
Although Lamar has allegedly made this purchase, he still has his residence in California. He still lives there with his fiancée Whitney Alford, and their young son and daughter.
